Holiday Gift Guide: Get in the game

On the 8th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me ....

Trivia games get the best of me, especially considering I'm married to someone who could rack up some dough from "Jeopardy." But if you and your buds go back a ways following WBB, here's a board game that beats "Trivial Pursuit."

Debbie Antonelli, along with "Shootaround" Co-Host Beth Mowins, have dedicated years of research to women's basketball and it's captured in one trivia game called "Full Court Pressure." Each of the 225 questions is a mini-history lesson on women's basketball. The purpose of this fun, entertaining game is two-fold: educate today's players about the history of our game and raise money for the Kay Yow Cancer Fund and the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame. Purchase your trivia game at www.wbhof.com and support the Hall and the Kay Yow Cancer Fund. Each game is $30.00 plus shipping.

Some sample questions:
*Who's the only Wade Trophy winner that didn't score 1000 points in college?*What program went to the Final Four the most times in the decade of the 1990s?*Who is the only UCONN player to average a double-double over her four year college career?

To find the answers, buy a game and enjoy hours of fun on the team bus or with a booster club or with some women's basketball fans! You'll be entertained and support a good cause!
